Read the wild email Tesla is sending to suppliers amid Supercharger chaos
Supercharger projects being cancelled, including halting rollout in the entire country of Australia, including sites that had already been subject to long-term leases and given the go-ahead for construction which will now be abandoned
David Kurtz on why Trump continues to be so appealing to so many Americans:
"It’s in moments like these that the overconfident diagnoses and simplistic solutions of someone like Donald Trump hold their greatest allure. ... He’s a chaos monster: the more of it he creates, the greater the need for the snake oil palliatives he offers. He’ll make you sick to sell you his bogus curatives."
As Timothy Burke notes, for the most part, those pressuring university administrators to crack down on student protesters "are going wholly undiscussed in the national news coverage." The media mantra is that the protests are causing "chaos." This ignores that the chaos is being created by administrators dragging in police to squelch peaceful protests.
This has become the dominant theme of the right’s response not just to these protests but to the state of the country in general: America is in chaos. …
But nearly everything resembling 'chaos' has come in the crackdowns.
"These protests have been nothing short of a godsend for the GOP, which can use them to pretend to care about antisemitism, divert attention from the thing the students are actually protesting, continue their long war against higher education, and bitch about Kids Today, who supposedly lack the good sense and civility that characterized the youth of, well, whenever you were young."
This is what Republicans have done for virtually all the years I've been a voter, 1968 to the present:
They manufacture nonexistent chaos when Democrats are in control, to justify wresting control of the nation and handing itl to a minority fiercely resistant to discussions of human rights and democracy.
With Trump, economic elites have become brazen about their intent to dismantle democracy and establish iron rule.The chaos mantra serves their ends.
Liebes #Mannheim#Chaos, ich brauche Hilfe! Ich bin Gläubiger eines Unternehmens in Form einer Anzahlung über 3000 Euro. Den claim müsste ich morgen schriftlich beim #Insolvenz Anwalt anmelden damit es in die #Insolvenzmasse kommt! Faxen und EMail macht der nicht und das Verwaltungsportal ist nur lesend! Hat wer Zeit und Energie das Formular und die Rechnung zu drucken in Vollmacht zu unterschreiben und dem Anwalt morgen auf den Tisch zu legen? Vielleicht kommt was raus, dann gibt es Anteile!
Leider muß ich am 10. Mai arbeiten, deswegen habe ich spontan ein Ticket für das #KampHack22 in Münster abzugeben, gegen Spende in beliebiger Höhe.
Wenn noch wer von euch gern dahin gehen möchte, schreibt mir gern eine DM oder auf Matrix (@mittens:systemli.org)
I did it ... 😊 I could not leave it be...
I ordered custom printed #keycaps from WASD for my customized #chrumm#keyboard showing the full #NeoQWERTZ layout. 😅 Plus the keyboards first FN-layer.
They arrived .. today 😀 and they are beautiful. Came out much nicer and less chaotic than I feared. Even though #chaos, chaosknot and fairydust-rocket are part of the design 😁
On top of that, I added o-rings for a softer key-press bottom-out.
Three quarters of the Great Barrier Reef has been hit in a widespread coral bleaching sparked by a marine #heatwave ... a major bleaching event is unfolding all the way along the 2300 kilometre #ecosystem.
The titan's torso is assembled enough to get a glimpse at the final product and he's HUGE! For reference, the can of Zandri Dust spray primer is 7.75" tall and that chainsword is 14.75" long from tip of blade to bottom of powercell. This guy is a towering 22.5" tall and he doesn't even have his carapace armor, guns, or void shields on yet!
The #SupremeCourt on Tues cleared the way for Texas to immediately begin enforcing one of the nation’s harshest immigration laws, which opponents say would disrupt more than a century of #federal control over #international borders.
The divided decision was preliminary & urged a lower court to quickly decide whether to allow the #law to remain in effect while appeals continue. That approach drew dissent from the 3 liberal justices, 2 of whom said the majority was inviting “further #chaos & #crisis in #immigration enforcement.”
“The Court gives a green light to a #law that will upend the longstanding #federal - #state balance of #power & sow #chaos,” wrote Justice SoniaSotomayor, joined by Justice ##KetanjiBrownJackson. They noted that a lower court judge had concluded “that it is likely #unconstitutional.”
The ice sheet is cascading/gushing at unheard of rates never dreamed possible at this stage of global warming, or at any stage for that matter. Greenlands ice sheets are cascading or merging with the sea. #climate#chaos#environmental#collapse
